HRA Success Stories

How HRA covers (and uncovers) winning stories!

Any publication can point to a couple of stocks that went up and say “we mentioned that” and claim it for their own. That’s not what HRA is about. When they start following a company they'll tell you WHY they think it can be a big win, WHAT it needs to make it and HOW it will get there. Just as important, they then follow the company and provide updates as things progress. HRA doesn't just mention a couple of hundred names and then arm wave about a few that go up later. Companies are followed as the individual stories they are.

Follow the links below to see “case studies” of four different companies. Each had its own style, working in different areas on different types of projects. They all had one thing in common though—HRA thought they had what it took to succeed. Not just the management but the prospects and the financing abilities that allowed them to seize on success when the time came.

You see, generating gains is not about seeing value after the fact, but about anticipating it. That’s the toughest part of the game and why HRA's 50 plus years of direct resource industry experience is such an asset. As you’ll see from the pages on each company, we the first analysts to cover one of these companies, one of only a couple of follow another (before its discovery; we had plenty of company later) and the first to see the enormous potential value in the early results of the third. Is HRA right all the time? Of course not. But the winners outweigh the losers in both number and the magnitude of the gains. With HRA, real experience helps discover value before the market, and profit from it when everyone else realizes what you already know.

HRA were the first analysts, buy or sell side, to cover First Quantum. They were impressed by the company’s smart plan to quickly develop an efficient copper leaching operation and use it to leverage larger acquisitions in the famous Zambian copper belt. FM pulled it off, even working through a terrible bear market in the copper price. That’s all past history now, with FM’s revenues growing rapidly, the company paying dividends and the stock trading as high as $70, a far cry from the price tag below $2 just a few short years ago.  More Information

We began following Bear Creek after it was listed in 2003. We warned then that, while we agreed with the company’s philosophy of “drilling and killing” projects it would make for a rocky market until BCM hit on something good.  Late in 2004 they began tying up silver projects in a new area of southern Peru.

We liked what we saw and moved BCM back up the list. That intuition proved correct when Bear Creek started releasing drill results a few months later and the stock took off.  More Information

Virginia Gold Mines has been quite a win it’s been for HRA readers.

We’ve added some earlier comments on Virginia to show how it was followed as events developed. It’ s been successful in the long term for Journal readers and an even more explosive short term win for Special Delivery and Dispatch subscribers.  More Information

MAG Silver was added to the HRA list soon after its listing. HRA knew some of the principals and recognized the combination of strong market players, some of the most knowledgeable geologists working in Mexico and a suite of district scale silver plays looked like an unbeatable combination. HRA followed the company through initial successes, refinement of its exploration methods and more recent attention grabbing results. All the while, HRA was spotting the best entry points for subscribers.
